  1. Why Rich People Master Delayed Gratification (And How You Can Too)

    Why Rich People Master Delayed Gratification (And How You Can Too)

    We live in a world that profits off your impulsivity. One click buy. Afterpay. Fast fashion. Uber Eats. Doom scrolling at 1am. And then we wonder why we feel broke, tired and behind. In this episode, I’m breaking down the real power of delayed gratification. Not from a grind harder angle. Not from a just be more disciplined angle. But from a nervous system angle. Because if you grew up in chaos, boredom can feel unsafe. If money used to disappear, spending can feel like survival. If you were taught nothing about emotional regulation, shopping can become your coping strategy. Delayed gratification is not about restriction. It is about reclaiming control. We talk about: • Why impulsivity is profitable for corporations • How trauma and scarcity impact spending • The link between dopamine and money habits • Practical ways to build self trust with your finances • How automatic payments protect your future self • Why wealthy people are not more motivated, just more systemised This episode is about choosing long term peace over short term relief. Because you are not the cost of living. You are the CEO of your habits. If you want stability, confidence and real transformation, this kōrero is for you. 🎧 Listen now.

  2. How to Overcome Imposter Syndrome and Stop Feeling “Not Enough”

    How to Overcome Imposter Syndrome and Stop Feeling “Not Enough”

    Imposter syndrome isn’t about your skills. It’s about whether you believe you’re inherently valuable. In this episode, I unpack how my imposter syndrome came from scarcity, comparison, and a deep “not enough” wound. I share how I used to pedestal people, overreact to opportunities, and feel lucky just to be in the room. And how that energy quietly kept me small. We talk about what actually shifted. Healing scarcity. Normalising success. Stopping the fan girl energy. Realising no one is above you. And the part most people skip: action. Because if you don’t post the video, pitch the idea, or share the journey, you’re outsourcing your power to imposter syndrome. This is a grounded kōrero about identity, self worth, and expanding into rooms that once felt too big for you. If you’ve ever known you were capable but still felt “not enough,” this one’s for you.

    The Pink Tax Explained: How Gendered Pricing and Unpaid Labour Cost Women Billions

    The pink tax isn’t a conspiracy theory. It’s a pattern. From razors and deodorant costing more just because they’re pink, to the unspoken expectation that women must spend more to be seen as “presentable” — being a woman in this economy comes with a price tag. But it doesn’t stop at retail. Wāhine Māori contribute billions to Aotearoa’s economy. When unpaid mahi like caregiving, whānau support and community leadership is included, that contribution nearly doubles. Yet much of that labour remains invisible in traditional economic measures. So we’re earning less on average. Spending more in certain categories. And giving unpaid time that keeps entire systems running. That compounds. In this episode, I break down: • What the pink tax actually is • The data behind gendered pricing • How unpaid labour skews economic reality • Why marketing thrives on insecurity • And how we move strategically instead of emotionally SUBSCRIBE TO MY EMAIL LIST This isn’t about victimhood. It’s about critical thinking. Because once you can see the pattern, you can move differently. We name the system. But we build anyway.

    The Government Cannot Give You Tino Rangatiratanga

    What does tino rangatiratanga actually look like in real life? Not in Parliament. Not at Waitangi. Not just in protest. In this episode of the Māori Millionaire Podcast, I unpack how sovereignty is not something the government grants. It is something we practise daily. We talk about: • How to practise tino rangatiratanga tō reo in your home • What tino rangatiratanga tō hauora looks like beyond policy • Why economic sovereignty and financial literacy matter for Māori • The difference between protest and personal power • Tangible steps you can take today to reduce dependency and build strength for your whānau As we approach 200 years since Te Tiriti o Waitangi, this episode challenges us to move beyond outrage and into disciplined action. Because sovereignty is not a slogan. It is behaviour. If you care about Māori economic development, financial literacy, hauora, and building generational wealth while staying grounded in your Māoritanga, this kōrero is for you. Share with someone who is ready to practise tino rangatiratanga, not just talk about it. JOIN MY EMAIL NEWSLETTER

    What I Learned Staying at an Ex Prime Minister’s House: Mindset, Boundaries, Manaakitanga and How Powerful People Think

    I recently stayed at the home of a former Prime Minister and instead of being impressed by status or wealth, I walked away with some of the most grounding lessons about mindset, health, leadership, and how powerful people actually move through the world. In this episode, I unpack what I observed behind closed doors. How critical thinking shows up in everyday decisions Why there was zero scarcity mindset, even when talking about negative experiences What it looks like to respond to a situation by fundraising $5 million for charity instead of spiralling How health was treated as non negotiable, not an afterthought Manaakitanga in action, not as a buzzword but as a daily practice Why saying “I’m not the person to ask that” is a sign of strength, not weakness How everything was analysed logically rather than emotionally The systems they used to reduce mental load, from events to home routines And why clear boundaries are a form of self respect, not arrogance This kōrero isn’t about politics. It’s about how people who carry responsibility, power, and pressure think, act, and protect their energy. If you’re interested in leadership, wealth mindset, critical thinking, and building a life that’s calm instead of chaotic, this episode is for you. Listen now and let this challenge how you think about success, power, and what actually matters.

    Why Discipline Is a Terrible Money Strategy

    Being good with money shouldn’t feel hard, stressful, or like a constant test of discipline. In this episode, I break down how I made managing money ridiculously easy by designing simple systems that work with human behaviour, not against it. Instead of relying on motivation or willpower, this kōrero focuses on removing decisions, automating the boring stuff, and setting up money so the right choices happen by default. We talk about why discipline eventually fails, how automatic payments change everything, and why simplifying your accounts leads to better financial clarity. I also share how making bad decisions harder and good decisions easier transformed my spending habits, without restrictive budgeting or guilt. This episode covers • making money management simple • why discipline doesn’t work long term • automatic payments and systems • reducing decision fatigue with money • spending without guilt • nervous system regulation and money • building sustainable financial habits If you’ve ever felt like you’re “bad with money”, this episode will show you how to design systems that make being good with money the easiest option.
